Bug Description

Trying to open the attached file using Inkscape results in massive RAM usage. I left it running for a while, but had to stop it at 12 GB.
The Inkscape window doesn't even show up, it's only visible in Task Manager.

The file was created just using Inkscape. I suspect the "Mirror symmetry" path effect might be the culprit.

Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11), fresh Inkscape installation.
Windows 10, version 10.0.17134 (Build 17134)

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.

Can you still reproduce this issue with Inkscape 0.92.4?

I can't reproduce this crash on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.4 (5da689c313, 2019-01-14) 64-bit. Memory used is only about 76 MB.
